Majestic Goes to Minecon2012!

As most of you know, I went to Minecon2012 at the weekend, held at Disneyland Paris. And I have to say, it was incredible. I met some great people, and for someone who isn't the best at talking to strangers, I felt at complete ease with the people around me. I put this down to everyone sharing a common interest, Minecraft (obviously ). The panels were fantastic and very interesting, from listening to how both Minecraft and Mojang were created, to watching Captain Sparklez doing a backflip live on stage, which was mental. I'm sad it's over, but I definitely want to go next year. It was a unique experience, and I'm glad I got to go to it. I even got to ask a question to Notch in front of hundreds of people! I'm ridiculously proud of myself for doing that Now, pictures!

I'll begin with some of the swag I got, both free and paid for.

The free bag which everyone recieved, with it's sweet design

My Minecon pass, signed by Hat Films on this side...

And Vu Bui, Ridgedog and Bebop Vox on the back

Like I said earlier, I met some fantastic people while there. We went round the Disney Studios on the Saturday evening together, riding the rollercoasters. The highlight was definitely watching my friend run away from Woody after ripping the handle of the string pull off his back Here are some pictures of us from the next day.

We got pictures printed for free, so sorry for the "picture of a picture"

My friend and I ridiculously cramped. It almost tipped over while we were riding it

And a super creepy horse. Wearing a hat.

Finally, the crowning moments of my trip.

I met Gus from Rooster Teeth! I was like one of three people who recognised him

AND I ONLY MET CAPTAIN SPARKLEZ! GFEONGEINSDNSTNGEOTGH

I got super lucky with the last photo. There was a queue of like a million people on the Sunday, so I couldn't get an autograph, but luckily enough, he was at the train station the same time as me the next day, and it was an opportunity I wasn't going to pass up.

So that was my awesome two days at Minecon, and I have to say it was easily one of the best trips of my life. I would recommend anyone to go.
